None.

Only fixed. And only broadheads. Not slugs, shot, or bullets.

Don't mean to hijack you're thread but ima do it anyhow

Having never hunted from a blind, why can't you shoot a firearm through those screens? Risk of fire? Or does it impact accuracy?

Has anyone broadhead tested those screens for accuracy at 40y or more? I have a questions because I'm looking to buy one in the near future.

....absolutely correct....in fact the instructions for my "shoot through" pop up blind clearly stated..."no mechanicals"....

Done this a few times - no risk of fire that I know of and all my shots have been within 100 yards and at those ranges did not affect rifle accuracy enough to matter. Loud though. Also one 30-06 shot wrecks the screen pretty effectively. .17hmr though only makes a small hole. Good for shooting porcupines and coons off of the bait pile.

Fixed broadheads out to 40 yards I would not trust accuracy. Inside 20 yards is probably fine.

of those who use a blind who shoots through the screen with fixed, and who opens the window and used fixed or mechanicals....just curious and trying to learn...thanks,

Not to hijack the thread but I know a guy who went almost deaf from shooting his rifle inside a pop up blind.
He now wears hearing aids from it.

Hearing protection is a MUST when shooting firearms inside a confined blind.

I do believe the Rage would be fine to shoot through the mesh of the blind, mine didn't even open going through a hog!

........I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. Please disregard. I'm not trying to pick a fight.
